How to Meet Expats in Switzerland (by InterNations)

Have you recently moved to Switzerland or are planning to do so in the near future?

You can call yourself lucky! You will find many like-minded expats in Switzerland as this is considered to be among the most popular destinations worldwide. As part of the move, reality will set in as you get acquainted with your new environment.

Statistics are one thing, but where to meet up with all these cool people?

The founders of InterNations have made it their mission to solve this issue. Seven years ago, they envisioned a global network which would facilitate the transition for the millions of expats who start their temporary assignments in places like Singapore or Zürich.

InterNations is now the number one expat network worldwide – a "community for open minds." And of the one million members in 390 cities all across the globe, almost 4 percent have chosen Switzerland as their expat destination.

The Benefits of InterNations

Hear it from member Maria-José Horstkamp from Lugano: "I've been living and working in Switzerland for 20 years, but it was only when I was introduced to InterNations that I could really feel connected.

When you're an expat, even if you make acquaintances at work or school, you're always lacking that sense of a familiar community. And that's exactly what InterNations has become to me: My community, my family!"

As one of the oldest international communities for people who live and work abroad, InterNations connects expats with other global minds who share similar interests and needs.
